Dispute Settlement Understanding

The Dispute Settlement Understanding (DSU) is a part of the World Trade Organization (WTO) that establishes rules for resolving trade conflicts between member countries. It provides a structured process for countries to address disputes over trade agreements, ensuring fairness and transparency. When disagreements arise, the DSU outlines steps like consultations, panels, and appeals to help parties reach a resolution. This system aims to maintain stability in global trade by providing a reliable means of settling disputes, ultimately fostering cooperation and trust among nations.
